Reviews for the Motorola Defy

78% 摩托罗拉Defy智能手机评测--实惠的户外手机,有趣的设计 | Notebookcheck
想用很少的钱买到真正稳定的智能手机?那么摩托罗拉Defy可能正好合适:它以刚刚超过300欧元(约348美元)的价格提供了体面的性能率,但在其他方面似乎有点过时了。它还足以让人推荐吗?
Motorola Defy 2021

I like Motorola smartphones and I was really curious how the reactivated Defy model would perform. Unfortunately, it did not surprise me in the aspects that I would most expect. The looks and the actual durability deserve the advantage, which I checked by soaking, drowning, burying and "accidentally" dropping the phone on various surfaces. But the smartphone disappointed me with a weak and dark screen, performance and a littered soft. If durability is a priority then you may consider purchasing the Motorola Defy. We pay extra for a sealed and reinforced housing, Gorilla Glass on the front and IP68 and MIL-STD-810H certificates. Otherwise, the price of the model under review ($ 279 or € 329) could be significantly lower. If durability is not the most important thing and you care more about a good screen or performance, then the price of the reviewed Motorola Defy includes dozens of smartphones with much better specifications and equipment, for example Samsung Galaxy A52, realme 8 Pro or Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite.

So there you have it - the Motorola Defy (2021) is a decent looking and nicely tough phone with just above entry-level performance and lower mid-range price. And while you can find better performers in the niche you would still be paying a class above for it, pushing the overall spending significantly higher. Obviously achieving all the ruggedness costs a lot in terms of extra materials and R&D expenditure so it's not really fair to directly compare those phones to convential ones. In sort of the same way that we can't complain a digger costs a whole lot more than a modern family saloon and is nowhere near as fast or well-equipped.

80% Motorola Defy (2021) review: Defying expectations
Source: Expert Reviews English EN→zh-CN
The Motorola Defy is no ordinary handset. It’s hardy and rugged, it can take one heck of a beating and, if that’s the sort of phone you’re looking for, then there’s no better place to spend your money. It has decent battery life, too, and looks that set it apart from most rivals. Whether you decide to buy one or not, however, is entirely dependent on whether you can stomach its many compromises. With uninspiring internals for the money, a so-so camera and a bang-average display, it’s far from a slam-dunk of a recommendation.

70% Motorola Defy (2021) review
Source: Tech Advisor English EN→zh-CN
The Motorola Defy is one of the most approachable rugged phones we’ve ever used. Its £279 price tag is reassuringly low, yet it can stand up to extremes of impact, temperature, and immersion that few phones can match. Battery life is also exemplary, and Motorola’s light take on Android is especially welcome in such a no-nonsense package. However, severe compromises have been made to hit that blend of price and ruggedness. The Motorola Defy is undeniably slow, and its 720p LCD display is a low-res disappointment. The camera system, meanwhile, is extremely limited. If you’re someone who wants the ultimate toughness with the minimum of fuss at the lowest possible price, you’ll struggle to do better than the relaunched Motorola Defy.

The Motorola Defy is an excellent phone for someone who needs the three pillars of ruggedisation: drop-proofing, water-resistance and a wide operating temperature range. Its price is entirely reasonable, battery life is good and the use of Gorilla Glass Victus is particularly noteworthy.

Motorola Defy 2021 Review, Pros and Cons
Source: OI Spice Tech News English EN→zh-CN
The Motorola Defy 2021 could be an amazing phone if it were in a low-budget section. As it offers an Android 10 operating system, you might miss some of the latest updates and it’s not a 5G smartphone, so you’ll soon be out of the market because the current landscape of the smartphone industry is changing quickly. It provides better protection, better battery life, but the budget restricts your desire to own this phone. With 2 years of security updates, it really proves to be a valuable companion. This is one of those phones that let you down when it comes to price. If you’re spending so much, why not look for an alternative? If you’re not sure which to choose, we recommend that a solid competitor to the Motorola Moto Defy 2021 smartphone is the Ulefone Armor 11 5G in the same price range.

The Defy is not your everyday rugged smartphone. Motorola and Bullit have teamed up to deliver a mobile that should appeal to a wide audience beyond the traditional consumer market. Just make sure that you are aware of its limitations.

只有较少的手机有很大的屏幕。
